The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

As soon as I came out, I saw Ah Mei and Ah Xiu cleaning the yard and tidying up the flower beds. They were quite efficient now, unlike their lazy selves before.

"Miss." Upon seeing Fang Qingyou come out, Mingyue and Yuefei immediately stepped forward to greet her.

Fang Qingyou's gaze, however, was directed in a certain direction, towards the Zhou family's courtyard.

The moment she saw Amei and Axiu, she knew how they treated Ren Shi. Now, hearing Aunt Luo talk about those things, she was even more furious.

With Yue Min and Yue Yao around, A Mei and her companion wouldn't have dared to act recklessly. However, in the past few days, they've both been sent away under various pretexts, leaving only Aunt Luo in the mansion. How could she possibly be a match for A Mei and her companion?

In the past few days, Amei and her partner only pretended to do it when someone came, and immediately stopped when no one was around.

It would be fine if they didn't do it at all, but they still secretly did something bad.

For example, today, the two of them extinguished the stove that was burning perfectly well, forcing Aunt Luo to go and relight it.

These past few days, Aunt Luo has been busy as a spinning top, while Amei and her husband have been quite idle.

However, Aunt Luo didn't dare to let Amei and the other girl do anything, especially things related to food, clothing, and daily necessities. It wasn't that she was afraid of them, but rather that she was afraid they might have some bad intentions.

I'd rather be busy myself than let anything happen to the Ren family.

Ren Shi hadn't allowed Luo Da Niang to talk about these things, but Fang Qingyou insisted on asking and that's how she found out.

Recalling the undisguised weariness between Aunt Luo's brows and the dark circles under her eyes, and then looking at the figures of Amei and Axiu, his expression involuntarily turned cold.

Fang Qingyou walked step by step behind Amei.

Amei was sweeping the yard when she turned her head and saw Fang Qingyou, and her expression suddenly changed.

"County... County Lord..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Xiu, who was pulling weeds in the flowerbed, trembled and quickly stood up: "Princess."

"Amei, Axiu, I heard you used to live in Mother's courtyard." Fang Qingyou glanced at Amei and Axiu, seemingly casually.

"Yes, Your Highness." Knowing that Fang Qingyou had come to settle scores with them, Amei and her companion's hearts tightened suddenly.

Just when Amei and the other woman thought Fang Qingyou would scold them, she saw her simply ask indifferently.

"Do you miss your mother?"

The question left Amei and the other woman completely bewildered: why ask them if they missed Madam?

Therefore, they didn't know whether to answer yes or no.

Fang Qingyou then said, "I noticed that you two always seemed to be deep in thought when you were doing things, so I thought you were missing Madam, which is why I asked. If you really miss Mother, I will ask her if it is possible to transfer you back to her courtyard."

"Princess, the Madam has sent us to serve Concubine Ren. Concubine Ren is our mistress." With such an obvious attempt to get rid of them, how could Amei and Axiu dare to openly say that they missed Zhou Shi?

Even if they secretly wished to return to work in the Zhou family's courtyard, they dared not reveal such thoughts.

However, he wasn't afraid of what Fang Qingyou might do, but rather he was afraid of the Zhou family.

Zhou ostensibly instructed them to serve Ren, but in reality, she wanted them to keep an eye on Ren and report any unusual activity to her.

If they were really driven away now, Zhou would definitely beat them to death, because they hadn't completed their mission.

"Really? You really don't want to go back to Mother's courtyard? But you seem very unwilling to serve my mother."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou looked at Amei and the other woman with a puzzled expression, seemingly very confused.

Hearing such direct words, Amei and Axiu were almost spitting blood. Although Fang Qingyou was speaking the truth, it was still too direct.

In this mansion, even if someone dislikes another, they wouldn't say it so directly.

Little did they know, Fang Qingyou was deliberately being so direct. While it's true that you need to be more subtle when criticizing certain people to achieve your goal, it's naturally better to be as direct as possible when dealing with people like Amei and Axiu.

How could Amei and the other woman dare to admit it? They could only shake their heads hastily: "No, no, Your Highness, absolutely not. We are loyal to Consort Ren, how could we not want to serve her? Your Highness, it's been cold these past few days, and we've both caught a bit of a cold and aren't feeling well, which is why we don't look very energetic. But please rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely treat Consort Ren with the utmost respect in everything from now on and will never dare to be negligent again."

"That's good. Since you're determined to serve my mother, then serve her well. Remember what you said today. I don't want to see you being lazy again. Otherwise, I won't let this go so easily."

"Slave, you obey!"

"Go back to work." Fang Qingyou glanced at Amei and the other woman indifferently, then turned and left.

She did have the idea of ​​continuing to reprimand Amei and the other woman, but their constant references to Aunt Ren were extremely grating to her ears.

Just now, she was merely giving the two a warning to keep them from slacking off. As for kicking them out, she was just saying it.

Should we really send these two away and let Zhou send two more difficult maids instead?

Rather than that, it would be better to keep Ah Mei and the other person.

Even though she was worried, she couldn't keep an eye on Ren Shi every moment.

Fortunately, Yuemin and Yueyao will be back either today or tomorrow.

Thinking about all this, Fang Qingyou felt that the identity of the county princess seemed to have another advantage, which was that she would no longer have to listen to these people calling her "Fifth Miss". She did not want to become a young lady of the Fang family at all.

Now that I have the title of County Princess, I can finally be spared this annoying title.

While in the Ren family's courtyard, Fang Qingyou still maintained the airs of a county princess, but upon returning to her own courtyard, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss, is something troubling you?" Mingyue couldn't help but ask when she saw Fang Qingyou's brows furrowed slightly.

She thought Fang Qingyou was worried about Ren Shi, or that she didn't like the courtyard.

Fang Qingyou shook her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the tall courtyard walls: "I was just lamenting that life is always full of disappointments. This mansion looks grand and opulent, but who can see the darkness within? So many bright women have entered this grand mansion, only to have their lives become gloomy, as if even the sunshine of life has been blocked out."

Mingyue was taken aback. Fang Qingyou seemed to be sighing for the Ren family, but she felt that it was not just that.

Yuefei, on the other hand, felt that she vaguely understood Fang Qingyou's feelings; she was lamenting for the women of this world.

Indeed, countless women in this world are locked up in these secluded mansions.

Just like the Ren family, even the Zhou family could not escape it.

Is the young lady worried about her future? Does she lack confidence in His Highness?
